Students ages 12 – 14, or rising 7th – 9th graders, will discover solutions to engineering challenges by exploring five disciplines: mechanical, electrical, civil, biomedical, and chemical engineering through ten hands-on activities designed to simulate a collaborative lab environment and spark the imagination.

In the past students have built a saltwater circuit, designed and built a swamp cooler, Mars rover egg-lander, and artificial bicep; created, constructed, and tested the strength of a bridge made of spaghetti, prosthetic leg, and clay boat; tested and analyzed sunscreen; created slime. Students will have the opportunity to visit and use CSU’s state-of-the-art 3D printing and engineering laboratories.

Students are accepted on a first come-first serve basis. Please submit a response to the essay question if you would like to apply for a scholarship to attend the program.
